(raymond b. evans, jay livingston) City sidewalks Busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style In the air there's a feeling of christmas Children laughing People pa**ing Meeting smile after smile And on every street corner you'll hear Chorus: Silver bells, silver bells Silver bells, silver bells It's christmas time in the city Hear them ring, hear them ring Ring a ling, ring a ling Soon it will be christmas day Chorus: Silver bells, silver bells Silver bells, silver bells It's christmas time in the city Hear them ring, hear them ring Ring a ling, ring a ling Soon it will be christmas day Soon it will be christmas day
